We could sit and wonder why Barron Trump has been reticent to be involved in his father’s campaign so far. He could just be emulating his mom, who is also keeping appearances to a minimum. It could be that he doesn’t want to be fame-hungry like his oldest brother Don Jr. or possibly dense like his brother Eric.

Maybe he doesn’t want to look power-obsessed like his sister Ivanka.

It’s far likelier, though, that he’s just not interested in helping out a guy who’s basically been absent his entire youth.

But don’t worry, his mom’s got him covered. She made sure that Barron never renounced his Slovenian citizenship in advance of his dad’s presidency. We found out that she was supposed to renounce her own — and may well have, to satisfy American rules — but Slovenia doesn’t recognize laws in America as holding weight in their country.

So Emperor “America First” has a wife and son with dual citizenship. All that, we got from a book by the Washington Post’s Mary Jordan that outlined Melania’s game plan as First Lady.

But given the fact that Trump is now trying to use Barron as a figure that might help his campaign, he’s actually trying to be seen with him more often. It’s gone disastrously, of course. He JUST finished making an ass of himself during a golf outing with the youngest Trump, where he ignored him and crowed about his debate performance to a bunch of fans on the golf course, handing them cash as he spoke.

But Trump has to at least try to make up for how obvious it has always been that he’s uninterested in his son. We even found out that Trump used to hate being photographed with the young man because he’s so much taller than his dad.

The rancid icing on the cake is the cynicism with which he’s clearly using Barron. He literally RAN his entire first campaign on an anti-immigrant platform, vowing to end “chain migration” (the method by which Melania got her parents into the United States). He’s a xenophobic, wall-building, Muslim-hating “America First” windbag.

He has never once taken Barron to a significant event. Not to the World Series, or even just a regular old baseball game, either of which he could do at any time. He’s always thought of Barron as Melania’s son, even slipping up that one time when he was ranting about e-cigarettes.

Maybe Trump hasn’t even noticed that his own family is “America At Least As Much As Slovenia” for two members of it.
